Tramp's popularity is a direct result of Republicans promising one thing on the campaign trail and then not following through. There were some things they did do, but others they seemed to only go at half-hearted, and others they didn't try at all. And the R establishment has thumbed their noses at conservatives for far too long. They want our vote, they know we want our representatives modeled after the best of Reagan, but in office they fall flat. They tell us stupid things like Reagan would have never approved or disapproved of this or that, as if we don't remember who he was, what he stood for, and that we know quite well exactly how he would have dealt with it. They really want the Party to be the old blue-blood, country club, Rockefeller Republicans. Reagan moved us past that non-sense, so why should we go back?
Conservatives want someone who constantly reminds the Dems/libs that if they count their lucky stars we might left them live today. Trump's the only one really taking it to them. And I, like many of you, don't count him as conservative. But, he does understand that the business of America is business. I'll give him that.
We can all support economic conservatism, the establishment needs to support the social conservatives, and together we can do great things. But they're at a real crossroad, because if they try to shove an establishment nominee down our throats after it's become obvious we don't want that, not only will they lose this election, they'll lose a whole bunch because, unlike the libs who enjoy being abused and will pull the lever for who they're told, we'll just refuse to participate. POOF! There goes 1/2 the party. And maybe that's what they want. The Dems are at the same crossroads and they're going to get their establishment candidate. If the R establishment were to wake up, they could take advantage of that.
But what so many citizens fail to recognize is how conservatives go, so goes the country. We throw in the towel, it doesn't matter what the rest of the population does, the country is cooked. We are the backbone. The libs aren't, the Rockefeller R's aren't. We are.
